Partnership with the PLA

You are the CEO of a Canadian-Chinese joint venture that operates in China. Your Chinese partner is the People's Liberation Army (PLA). The PLA has built a sprawling network of businesses that do everything from raise pigs to run airlines and hospitals, mine coal, man- age hotels, and operate paging and cellular networks.

Are the ethical issues of partnering with the Chinese military any different from those that arise from exporting to China? Why or why not?
